on leadership development

‘To develop outstanding leadership in health, in order to improve people’s health and their experience of the NHS’

BackgroundStrong evidence that leaders who engage staff deliver: Better patient experience, stronger financial management, higher staff morale, less absenteeism and stress.

Simple changes can make a big difference. NHS organisations need to support leadership and engagement for improvement e.g., through effective appraisals, clear job design and a well-structured team environment.

Pace-setting style of leadership needs to be complemented by other approaches.

Why a national Academy?n The NHS Leadership Academy has been set up

to professionalise leadership across the NHS. It will develop outstanding leadership in health to improve the quality of services and outcomes for patients.

n General Practitioners (GPs), present and future, will benefit from involvement, both as contributors to programmes, adding and ensuring a ‘patient centred and clinical lens’ to leadership activities, and as recipients of programmes.

n Previous leadership styles are no longer sufficient, distributed leadership and system leadership are now necessary.

n Devolved, clinically led decision making requires new leadership behaviours, these can be learnt, in training and in practice.

n Common values and approaches are required to enable system leadership, leadership with a purpose that is clinically led.

n We must have critical mass and pace to make an impact now as well as over time, scaling up GP opportunity and involvement.

NHS Leadership Academy activity of relevance to GPs; examples to date;n Programmes of work aim to support devolved, clinically led decision making and new leadership behaviours

n Design of practical ways to enhance GP leadership skills development within the curriculum, assessment and in the community.

n Working with VTS ST3 groups to identify leadership skills and build opportunities to practise these skills.

n Piloting of ‘talent conversations’ in GP appraiser training in order to keep the developmental aspect of appraisal within revalidation.

n Programmes of support for CCG leaders in using NHS Change model, innovation and system leadership to improve patient care (in conjunction with Ashridge Business School and collaboration with regional leadership programmes).

n Working to support a sustainable workforce for commissioning by developing programmes of support for locum and salaried GPs and primary care colleagues wishing to be involved in commissioning (e.g. Women Leaders Learning Sets)

n Facilitate clinical engagement from the start by involving GP trainees, GP’s wanting to lead and GP’s already leading CCG’S in development of design of programmes through our critical friends group.
